   Summary

   It takes courage to do many things. It takes courage to fight even when afraid. It takes courage to question those you've been raised to trust unconditionally. It takes courage to better yourself and admit your faults.

   And it takes courage to open up and reach out to those around you.

   A single conversation occurs after winter, a conversation that changes the road both of them will walk on. Even if, ultimately, the destination is still the same.
